Review summary
First let me say that the crew from room attendant to our waiter were top notch.
Also the entertainment was the best of any cruise ship I have been on. That said, I have the following problems with the cruise.
1- No quiet pool. The pool area was crowded and music and ship games blared over the deck speakers to the point that you could not carry on a conversation with the person sitting next to you.
2- Most evening activities don't begin until after 10:00 PM. This includes teen activities.
3- Food was nothing to write home about.
4- Drink specials $8.00 and up!
5- Elevators were slow and one was out of commision the entire cruise.
